Discord Connections: Link Steam, Spotify, Xbox

Discord Connections let you link accounts from other services, such as Steam, Spotify, Xbox and PlayStation Network, to your Discord account. Linked accounts can appear on your profile, and some can show what you're playing, listening to or watching as your status.

You manage everything from one Connections tab in User Settings. Each connection has its own toggles, so you decide what other people see.

This wiki lists the services Discord currently shows, explains how to add and remove a connection on desktop and mobile, and covers the display settings, Spotify listen along, console features, privacy and troubleshooting.

At a glance - Where: User Settings > Connections - How many: as many third-party accounts as you like - Profile control: Display on profile, plus extra toggles for some services - Nitro needed? No - Removing one: only you can do it; Discord Support can't remove it for you

What Are Discord Connections?

Discord calls this feature Account Connections. It links an external account to your Discord account and, if you choose, shows it on your user profile.

Some connections also share live activity. Discord's Activity Sharing FAQ notes that Spotify and Crunchyroll activity only appears once you connect those accounts, and Xbox or PlayStation games show up through their connections too.

Instagram is no longer available as a new connection. Discord says it removed the Instagram connection due to lack of API support.

How to Add a Connection

Desktop and browser

Select the cogwheel next to your username to open User Settings.
Select the Connections tab. To see every option, select the View More arrow.
Select the icon of the service you want to add, then log in to that service when prompted.
Look for the message Connected your [External Account] account to Discord.

Mobile

Tap your avatar in the bottom-right corner to open your profile.
Tap the cogwheel in the top-right corner.
Tap Connections, then Add in the top-right corner.
Tap the service you want and log in. A confirmation message appears when it works.

Some services add extra steps. Xbox asks you to press Continue and Authorize and Continue, and Roblox asks you to confirm account details before finishing.

How to Remove a Connection

Open User Settings and select Connections (on mobile: User Settings > Connections).
Select the X icon on the connection you want to remove.
Select Disconnect to confirm.

Discord says removing a connection revokes its access to that account and permanently deletes the information it collected. Crunchyroll is an exception to the one-step process: you need to remove the link in both Discord and Crunchyroll settings.

👤 Show or Hide Discord Connections on Your Profile

Every connection has a Display on profile toggle. Turn it off to hide that account from your profile completely.

Some services, such as Steam, Reddit and Bluesky, also offer connection details like account age or follower counts. Use Display details on profile to hide those details while still showing that the account is verified. A Refresh button updates the details on demand.

Discord says visibility is on by default for most connections, except ones often tied to real names, such as Facebook and Spotify.

🎮 Show Activity as Your Status

Several connections have a second toggle that shares live activity. The labels follow the pattern Display [service] as your status:

Toggle	What it shows
Display Spotify as your status	The song you're listening to
Display Xbox as your status	Your current Xbox game and how long you've played
Display PlayStation Network as your status	Your current PS4 or PS5 game
Display Crunchyroll as your status	The anime title, season and episode you're watching

These toggles only work while your global activity sharing is on. Discord's Activity Sharing FAQ explains that each connection's toggle depends on the main Share my activity setting.

🎵 Spotify and Listen Along

After connecting Spotify, open User Settings > Connections to switch Display on profile and Display Spotify as your status.

Friends can see your track on your mini profile and full profile. From there they can use Play on Spotify or Listen Along.

To invite friends, select the + in your message box while Spotify is playing. You can send the invite in a DM, group DM or channel. Discord says friends need Spotify Premium to listen along, or they'll get an error.

Xbox and PlayStation Features

Linking a console account does more than add a badge to your profile:

Xbox: show your Gamertag and game activity, and use Discord voice chat on your console. Each Discord account supports one linked Xbox account at a time.
PlayStation Network: show your Online ID and the game you're playing on PS4 or PS5. Discord voice chat transfer works on PS5 only.

Discord says the PlayStation activity status isn't available for child accounts on PlayStation Network. For linking a Twitch or YouTube channel to a server, see our guide to connecting Twitch, YouTube and Kick to Discord.

🔒 Privacy and Safety

Discord can only read information that's public on the other service. For example, Steam game data needs a public Steam profile.
Discord says it doesn't sell connection data and won't share it outside Discord without your permission.
The connection screen lists what Discord collects before you approve it.
A connection can only be added to a different Discord account after a set period, which makes it harder to use one account to verify many fakes.
Connections don't carry over between accounts in Account Switcher.

Servers can also use connections for Linked Roles, which check details like account age before granting a role. Hiding a connection doesn't stop it from counting toward those roles. Our Discord privacy settings guide covers the rest of your privacy controls.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Problem	What Discord suggests
Spotify keeps pausing	Spotify pauses if your mic transmits for 30 seconds in voice. Use Push to Talk or adjust voice sensitivity
Spotify not shown as status	A detected game takes priority over Spotify
Listen Along won't start	Pick a device or play a song in your Spotify app first
Listen Along is out of sync	Check that your system time is correct
PlayStation status missing	Set PlayStation privacy so Anyone can see your online status and what you're playing, then refresh
Steam game data missing	Make your Steam profile public
Twitch or YouTube server not listed	Remove and reconnect the account
Connection won't link	Make sure you can log in and pass the service's security checks, then contact Discord Support

Discord notes that auto pause can also trigger during screen share and Go Live, because Spotify is meant for personal use.
